My family and I just made 35 jars of pickles (and the neighbour who gave us the cucumbers had already made 70 jars of pickles). It's going to be a good winter.
@sundogplanets Are pickles a winter treat? I would have assumed they were more popular in the summer.
@sundogplanets What did you throw in your brine?
@sundogplanets We made 34qt this year of my grandma's recipe, only we swapped out alum for CaCl. I happened to have a pound of CaCl left over from brewing so it worked out great.
@sundogplanets How many pecks is that?
@crazyeddie @sundogplanets 35 quarts is 4.375 pecks. Assuming the professor used quart jars, anyway.
@gephorian @sundogplanets Right. Could be gallon jars and then it's 4x that many pecks.
@crazyeddie @gephorian Good guess! It's a mish-mash of whatever jars I could find, but primarily quarts.
